  When we think of this journey, we need to learn to understand what it means. It isn't only comprised of the treats, but the pushing through. It's like that push through when you've engaged in a rigorous workout routine and feel the burn, but decide to continue for the benefits . We all slip up, so that is something normal. What you need to have patience with is discipline, and grace for yourself. Of my 'rules' mentioned before, I too have slipped up/strayed. I worked late and couldn't eat before 7pm. I went for my vaccination and couldn't do a full workout. But I have my plan, and slipping up doesn't mean I have lost control nor that I should call it quits. Push through . So what we need to do is set up a list of things we want to achieve and then a list of ways we plan on getting there. The list will change, maybe after the first two weeks you can become stricter with yourself. We all have separate journeys and differing goals, so it might be that you...

My sleep seems to never be enough anymore. I have officially reached burnout. I have been doing more than I should and continuously worrying about the things I would like to change. So I have decided to change what really matters. I offload before I try to unwind. The day's worries are not worth your strength when you can no longer change it. Let go of what has passed. I have started a routine where on the way home from work, I slowly accustom myself to being “done” with work. By the time I get home I feel more at ease, so I can unwind. This weekend I decided to spend time with myself. From watching series on Friday evening, to cleaning and cooking on Saturday. Then an afternoon nap, exercise and a facial pamper session. On Sunday, I followed with a pedicure and spent time with family. And to wrap it up, I set goals for my upcoming week- my renewed journey of self-love. My goals are small; a lesson I've learnt from going big and accomplishing nothing.     1. Unwind from daily ...

When we think of these concepts we often think of something like the picture above; relaxation, pamper. How often do you take time out to relax, unwind and let go? Most likely not enough. Or maybe not in the right way. Caring for yourself goes deeper than the occasional timeout from life where you go for a massage, it's about spending time with yourself. You need to get to know yourself. I have restarted my journey and I am taking a different approach this time. I am not a life coach, but I am a woman who has lost sight of who she is, something I'm sure many can relate to. I stopped recognizing myself in the mirror (obviously face masks, but also the fast-paced day-to-day). I am committing to my journey because I need  it now more than ever before. The life coaches and psychologists are amazing at what they do! But I know that sometimes seeing someo...
